Her footsteps sounded off the walls of the school hall as she ran past me, leaving her scent lingering behind. The sharp clacks against the pavement somehow converyed a sort of sadness I couldn't quite describe. She wasn't used to all the attention the teenagers in the halls gave her, but it was barely the beginning of lunch. I followed her, needing to be close to her. Still something was making her skin crawl. She shuddered against the cold and picked up the pace, grateful she hurried to her car with me jogging close behind her. Fishing out her keys her fingers slipped and the keys made a loud clash falling to the floor. I ripped off my jacket and wrapped it tight around her, shielding her from the cold as her fragile body shuddered uncontrollably. Her face turned into my chest as she let out a sob, crying for the love she will lose, for the ache of her body and most of all, exhausted with the endless battle that this would end. All I could do was hold her and whisper sweet nothings into her soft hair, kissing the top of her head. This was a mistake, the most beautiful, tragic mistake of my life. Is Xavier and Lilli's love so strong they can defeat anything? Even death.

Drake's Kitten (completed)
He once told me no one knows the real him.I didn't think he meant it, and not in a good way. He is a straight A student, and everyone knows it, not to mention he is on the swim team. All that though isn't the real him, the real him hides deep within himself. ---------- "Can you please tell me what that was?" I nearly shout at him. All I get is silence. He keeps his back to me. "Please, I need some explanation." I beg. I stay still as he stops dead in his tracks. His body is tense and it's scarring me. He turns around slowly to face me with his hands at his sides. His eyes meet mine, but there is no spark of any emotion in them. They are cold and dark making me look away not being able to hold his deadly stare. I feel uneasy under his gaze, and i feel his eyes burning a hole in the side of my face. "No, I won't explain because it's not important." He says in a low, almost, growl. I flinch and look back into his eyes. I feel hurt by his words and I don't know why, but I know he sees it in my eyes. His faces flashes with regret but it's quickly covered up with his faces going back to it's hard cold look. I feel my heart stop and my face go pale. His look terrified me making me hold my breath. "Breath." He orders. I start to breathe again and just blink at him. "Now go." He orders me again. I flinch involuntarily at his tone and jump back slightly. "Please don't let me walk home alone." I beg in a quiet voice, looking down at my feet. The next thing I see are his black combat boots right in front of my shoes. I look up into his eyes and he looks down into mine confusion written all over his face. "How come you aren't running yet?" He questions searching my eyes. "I just can't walk home alone, please I'm scared." I hear him chuckle. "You aren't afraid of me? What can possibly be scarier than me?" He asks. "Well, I know you will keep me safe." "Why is that?" He questions raising an eyebrow at me. "You haven't hurt me." "Yet." He mutters, but I roll my eyes.Complete![Unexpected Love [GXG]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/346562087-256-k387363.jpg)

But everything changes when the last person she ever expected-a boy with his own complicated story-starts paying attention to her in ways she never imagined. What begins as a quiet connection soon evolves into something that challenges their perceptions of love, life, and themselves. I hope you guys like it. ~Tess~💙 ✧*。 Then, slowly, he leaned in again, placing soft kisses along my neck. His lips were warm, sending shivers down my spine. One of his hands glided up my thigh, stopping to rest on my hip. His breathing grew heavier, matching mine. "You always have a sweet scent when I'm near you," he murmured against my skin. "Like vanilla and cinnamon." His teeth grazed a sensitive spot on my neck, and I hummed involuntarily. My legs pressed together, trying to stifle the ache building between them. He was making me feel things I hadn't felt before-things I wasn't sure I could control. "I should-" I started, my voice faltering as I tried to regain control. "I should get you something to sober up." I quickly slipped off the table, putting space between us, but he was faster. His hand caught my wrist, and before I knew it, he had me pinned against the wall. "So?" His voice was low, almost a growl. "Must I always stay sober? I don't want anything... just you."Complete

Hate to Love me
She had been alone with me before but the air in the car was excruciatingly lovely. It felt like home. It was as if she was my wife and I was just driving us home after a long day. At the same time, it felt like I couldn't breathe. For fucks sake, my chest was sweating, but I loved it. I glanced at her as she was leaning her head on the window, her dark ponytail sprawled over her chest. She looked so daunting and elegant it made my heart clench. Sometimes, when I looked really hard and noticed everything I didn't get the chance to in all of the nine years I've known her before she disappeared, it made me feel like a high school boy again. That feeling of happiness when I was with her. Or even just the thought of her. Fuck. I grabbed a cigarette from out of one the cup holders and lit it up, trying to distract myself from her. I inhaled, but when I turned to look at Selene she was covering her nose with her shirt. I furrowed my brows and scowled. Did I smell? "What's wrong?" I softly asked. She glanced at me and shook her head gently, dismissing me. I clenched my jaw. When I pulled my hand up to inhale another smoke, it finally clicked. I quickly threw it out the window and turned the AC on, rolling our windows up. I felt her stare on the side of my face and gulped, trying my fucking best not to smile. "Why did you do that?" She asked me, her voice low. Almost sounding like she was whispering. I quickly shot her a glance before answering. "You have asthma." Her gaze darkened. It was so quiet I could hear her heart beating rapidly while we stared at each other. I couldn't help but want to reach up and kiss her, and hold her like she deserved. She swallowed her saliva and looked away, a smile starting to form on the corners of her lips. I chuckled, already knowing I couldn't escape her now. I wouldn't be able to. It'd be like not having oxygen. And so help me, God, if I didn't have my oxygen.
Cosmic Connections (Book 2 Of: Interstellar Passions)
As he gathered his courage, the sound of cheerful voices and laughter filled the night, imbuing the air with excitement and possibility. With friends by his side and stars above him, it was time for Theo to embrace the adventure that lay ahead. "Tonight's going to be amazing," he thought to himself, a hopeful spark igniting within him. As the event unfolded, he would find a way to connect with Lily-to turn those distant constellations of his feelings into something real. With a surge of courage, Theo closed the gap, leaning in as he pressed his lips against hers. The world around them dissolved into a blur, the laughter and chatter fading to a soft hum as he lost himself in the magic of the kiss. It felt like they were floating beneath the stars, cradled by the universe itself. "What did you realize?" Theo asked, his heart thumping as he leaned closer. "That I can't keep pretending I don't want to be more than friends," she admitted, her voice trembling slightly. "I want to explore this with you, whatever it is. But that means risking everything." Theo felt a sense of relief wash over him. "Me too. I've felt it for a long time, but I didn't know how to say it." "Lily, I-" Theo began, but she cut him off, her voice rising with emotion. "No, Theo. You listen," she interjected, clearly fighting to keep her composure. "I get that work is important. I really do. But it feels like you're avoiding me. I don't even remember the last time we had a real conversation." A wave of guilt washed over Theo. He stepped away from the door, letting her enter fully as he ran a hand through his hair. "Lily, I'm so sorry. I've just gotten buried in this project, and it slipped away from me. I didn't mean for you to feel ignored-that was never my intention." "Are you family?" the doctor inquired, looking between Theo and Lily. "No, but we're friends. What happened?" Theo's voice cracked, a knot tightening in his throat.Complete
